Northern Ireland's Mark Allen is to play in the semi-finals of snooker's International Championships after winning the final frame decider against Judd Trump.

The Antrim player will now play against China's Yan Bingtao on Friday, 03 November.

Speaking to World Snooker Allen said: "I've showed all week I've got good battling qualities. That's my third decider in a row that I've come through and they can make or break not only your tournament but your season.

"I lost a few early doors as the season started and now I'm starting to get on the right side of those results so to get one over on Judd in a such a big tournament gives me a massive boost."
